At last, Roland Burris has made a decision as senator that we can endorse wholeheartedly.He will not run next year for his Senate seat.Thank goodness.At least one chapter in the sad show that is Illinois politics can soon come to an end.You'll remember, of course, that Burris began shredding his own credibility and the legacy of his decades of state service when he accepted the Senate appointment from our radioactive governor, Rod Blagojevich.
Blagojevich anointed Burris, just as the governor was getting tossed from office for allegedly trying to sell that very Senate appointment.
Recall, too, that we have state Democratic leaders to thank, in part, for the initial fiasco, because they were loath to call a special election for the seat when there was a chance a Republican could win it.
So we got Burris. The senator who wasn't.

The only “legacy” Burris has ever had in Illinois is dem party hack.
So, what kind of Senatorial pension plan does he get for the rest of his life? Inquiring minds would like to know how our tax dollars are being wasted!
Did RoBu leave enough room at the bottom?
What the heck? He might as well stay. He fits right in at the US Senate. Right along with all of the other felons, reprobates, con-artists and bedwetters.
With someone like Franken now using his little yellow p!ss-stained fingers to sign legislation and laws that govern US, I have nothing left but utter contempt for the lot of them
Need to make that "Unelected U.S. Senator".
Well, he’s an improvement over 0bama anyway.
